Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has insisted that the certificate from the Chicago State University (CSU) presented by President Bola Tinubu for the 2023 elections was fake.
He therefore called on his fellow major presidential contestants in that election, Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), to join him in “entrenching justice, and accountability” in Nigeria’s political system.
Atiku made the call, on Thursday, during a world press conference held in Abuja to address the issue of President Tinubu’s academic records released by the Chicago State University (CSU).
The former Vice President noted that he was not fighting Tinubu for his personal interests, but for the good of all Nigerians.
CSU had released Tinubu’s academic records to Atiku’s legal team on Monday upon the order of an American court.
The released records had generated varied reactions over the authenticity of the certificate the president submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) prior to the 2023 elections.
